Hello listeners, this is Alice here. I just wanted to flag a couple of things before we get into the

episode. First off, I want to mention that this episode was originally released as a bonus

episode for our patrons back in 2023. So if you hear us mention anything about it being a bonus episode,

that's what we're talking about. If you want to get access to all of our bonus content,

including more episodes like this one, you too can become a patron of Queer's Fact over

on our Patreon. I also wanted to flag that being from 2023, this episode does make one reference

to our co-host Jasmine by a previous name. With both of those things out of the way, I hope

you enjoy this episode. Hello and welcome to Queer's Fact, the podcast bringing you queer

history from around the world and throughout time.

My name is Eli.

I'm Alice.

And today we're talking about the Circle of Sex, a 1960s astrological representation of human sexuality and its eccentric creator Gavin Arthur.

Okay. I'd like to acknowledge the Bunurong-Bunwarang people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners of the land on which we record this podcast, and pay my respects to their elders past and present.

We recognise them as the custodians of an oral history tradition far older than this podcast. Before we begin, I'll note that we have some content warnings. This episode

will contain sexual references, including discussion of a sexual encounter between adults

with a large age gap, and also discussion of outdated 1960s attitudes towards women, sexuality and gender,

as well as the use of outdated language and slows.

I'll say a few words about my sources before we get started.

So one of the reasons I'm doing this as a bonus episode is because I don't have a lot of good sources.

Gavin and his circle of sex came to my attention

through a vice article by John Nova Lomax entitled, This President's Grandson was more interesting

than you'll ever be, published in January 2017. Which president is his grandson off?
